I love it when Jim spells it out for what it is. The end of the road for global finance. Believe it. You won't need to believe for long. It's here. It's now. It's what it is. It's all that there is, and it's all over - bar the soundtrack of a crumbling system. Time... Continue Reading →
It’s All Different Now
It's all different now. Nothing will be normal again. Believe it. And I can't describe it as well as some others, so... what he said - on Friday..."Black Swans, Dead Cats, Live Bats, and Goodbye to All That" - Kunstler And, what he said... today..."Things Have Changed" - Kunstler All pointers indicate that this is...

The Time Has Come…
It is something that has been said (by people like me - and a few experts) for quite some time, but now in a severe warning of things about to burst upon an unprepared and disbelieving humanity, Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML) analysts say a range of economic and social challenges are "all heading...

The End of Human Rights
As we bid goodbye to 2018 - and why wouldn't we want to? - it is time to take a very brief - we don't need to look too closely or we might become a little despondent - look at what the past year has been all about. One thing, above all else, stands out... Continue Reading →

BHP is banking on a big turnaround in the price of oil to something like $50 dollars a barrel over the next year... Continue Reading →

When Will The “Nothing Is Happening” Crowd Finally Wake Up?
When will the “nothing is happening” crowd finally wake up?, asks Michael Snyder. Good question. World economies are crashing around our ears, but is anyone paying any attention? Media? Governments?

In The Year 2045
Do you have a reasonable expectation of being alive in 2045, another thirty years from now? I expect I might have some hope of living for another 20 years or so but I would reach 100 years in 2045 and not many men do that. My mother though met that target this year so, just... Continue Reading →
